Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

As soon as Li Yuanying spoke, Gao Yang and others naturally raised their hands to participate, and even Li Zhi expressed his intention to participate after a moment of hesitation. No way, in the past, he had been smashed by Li Yuanying because of his withdrawal from the small partner group.

Li Yuanying received the unanimous support of her friends and was very touched. She agreed on the spot to let them go back and order good people and gather at the school the next day.

At the end of the meeting, Li Yuanying strolled to find her Majesty Li Er, saying that she was no longer young, and now she was also crowned king. How could there be not a few guards around him! This is not a compliance instrument!

His Majesty Li Er was irritated by Gao Chang these days, and he cursed badly: "You can't sit still, can't wait to take someone to play outside the palace, right?"

Li Yuanying smiled, tacitly accepting the words of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er was very upset and asked Li Yuanying to pick someone on his own.

Li Yuanying did not leave, but curiously asked who Li Er would send to fight Gaochang this time.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him, and did not hide from him: "It should be Hou Junji."

Only then did Li Yuanying go to the leader of the imperial army with the will of His Majesty Li Er.

He asked the leader of the imperial army to select a group of guards who were older, poorer, and unable to marry a wife to report to him in accordance with the rules of the feudal lords.

The other party did not expect that Li Yuanying would have such a request. Such people are usually at the bottom of the Forbidden Army. Many people think that they are burdened and only do some hard work for them. It is obvious that promotion is hopeless!

There are such weak chickens that are trampled everywhere, and the Forbidden Army is no exception. It is a pity that most of them have done meritorious service before being elected to the Forbidden Army. It is not easy to kick them out!

If Li Yuanying wants such a person, it is natural that the imperial army can't ask for it, so he can get things done in twos or twos, and transfer these very young single imperial soldiers to Li Yuanying's side.

Before the guard came, Li Yuanying called Dai Ting over. Dai Ting is only twelve or thirteen years old. Because of his appearance and the relationship between the eunuch, his face is more feminine. But after he has been with Li Yuanying for so many years, Li Yuanying knows that he is by no means a weak person.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanying took out the mask and let it be put on.

With the mask, Dai Ting looks much older, plus his height is pretty good, he looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Li Yuanying said, "I need a lot of money and food after I go to the fief. Now there is a good opportunity. Are you willing to do something for me?" He spread out the map that was restored from Li Zhi's picture and hit it in Chang'an. I made a circle in Gaochang and showed Dai Ting the difficulty first. "You have to follow the army so far. The climate there is very cold. The road is blocked by snow and ice at this time, and it is very difficult to walk."

Dai Ting listened carefully.

Li Yuanying said: "You are very dedicated to serving me and my mother, but you can do the work of serving people, and others can do it. You have been by my side since you were young, and I don't want you to keep doing this kind of work that can be replaced by others at any time. I don't like to go out in winter, so I can let you go out for exercise."

After hearing Li Yuanying's words, Dai Ting knelt down, his eyes moist.

Although he was young when he entered the palace, he still has memories. He clearly remembers how his biological parents sold him and how he was removed from being a man.

Since then, he can only stay alive, no longer expecting himself to live like an individual.

But at this moment, Li Yuanying told him that he didn't want him to keep doing those jobs that could be replaced at any time.

Even if the road is difficult and long, even if the road is blocked by snow and ice, he wants to try it!

Dai Ting bowed his head heavily and replied, "The villain is willing to go!"

Li Yuanying stepped forward to help Dai Ting and put out his plan together: "You have always been responsive and good at sniffing news. This time the court is going to conquer Gaochang. It is just a land of small shots. It must be no match for the Great Master of Tang Dynasty. This time the emperor is likely to send Hou Junji and the others. I heard that Hou Junji is so happy and indulges the soldiers. After breaking through Gaochang, he will definitely not restrain the soldiers underneath. I want you to follow the army and take advantage of the chaos. When you come back, when you see the opportunity, you will show the identity of me and the pheasant slaves when you meet the people of Hou Junji; when you meet the Gaochang people who are not willing to come back with you, you will take advantage of Hou Junji!"

Li Yuanying told Dai Ting what she wanted: first, they are good at planting grapes, let them bring the grape seeds with them; second, they make wine, let them bring the wine from the cellar; third, they bring the wine from the cellar. A few literate Gaochang people asked them to bring back all the written things over there. These three types do not have to be many, but there must be.

Dai Ting obeyed his orders.

Li Yuanying said: "The emperor is about to assign me a group of guards, and I will give them a few days off later, go out to find some old friends who are disarmed and return home, and gather a large caravan." Li Yuanying gave it. Dai Ting has another task, "When you arrive in Gaochang, find a wife for them all."

The little place in Gaochang annoyed your Majesty Li Er. Li Yuanying estimated that they were not far from the subjugation. Therefore, the delicious and beautiful ones over there, as well as the women over there, should be brought back first. In fact, if he hadn't had a fief, Li Yuanying was afraid that even male boys would want to get a batch of them, how good it would be to use them for work!

Dai Ting didn't find the task difficult, so he responded to them one by one.

Li Yuanying took out a sword and asked Dai Ting to hold it. This sword was left to him by the Supreme Emperor. It was a good sword and a symbol of imperial power. The first time he sent his confidant out, he naturally gave Dai Ting a little more protection!

After the master and slave had negotiated, the people selected by the imperial army also arrived. Li Yuanying took Dai Ting to see the group of his own future help. He first welcomed them, and then began to advocate his plan: Do you want a bonus? Do you want a wife? Follow Dai Ting to Gaochang, you will have everything you want! If the task is completed, there will be more generous rewards when you come back!

The image of Li Yuanying's former little devil was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At first, everyone didn't believe it, but Li Yuanying asked people to take out a box of golden gold and told them to give them all of it after it was done!

Li Yuanying also said that he had seen Gaochang's beauties. They were tall and beautiful, with black and consummate eyes, and a tall and straight nose. They danced absolutely. They go, they can take the opportunity to ask for a Gaochang wife!

A group of older single guards were so excited by Li Yuanying that they expressed their willingness to serve the little prince!

The next day, Li Yuanying asked them to join Li Zhi and the guards they chose. This time, Li Yuanying's new guards were even more excited. If only Li Yuanying sent them out, they might still be playing drums in their hearts, but it seems that even the princes and princes are involved, so they can rest assured!

Li Yuanying handed the Supreme Emperor’s sword to Dai Ting in public, so that everyone should listen to Dai Ting’s instructions on the way, and kill those who don’t!

Manpower arrangements were completed, and Li Yuanying sent Dai Ting to lead people to prepare supplies.

Only then did Li Zhi know what Li Yuanying was going to do, and he was not calm at once. After Li Yuanying finished the mobilization, he pulled Li Yuanying to hold a small meeting again: "You let them follow the army to Gaochang?"

Li Yuanying said: "This opportunity is so rare, think about it, you will inevitably encounter thieves on the road, it is extremely dangerous! It is rare that there will be a large army in front of the road, and when will you not go at this time!"

Li Zhi was silent for a while.

Although Li Yuanying made a lot of sense, she always felt that this matter didn't seem to be a good thing.

Gao Yang said: "As long as you are timid, no matter who the father sends, they dare not move our people!"

Seeing someone on his side, Li Yuanying immediately said with an awe-inspiring righteousness: "The emperor is obviously going to kill chickens and monkeys this time. I think Gaochang is going to subdue the country this time. Even if it is a small country, it will inevitably ruin a lot when it rises. Things, we send people to bring these things back, but also to save them from catastrophe."

Li Yuanying told Chengyang and the others what the soldiers might do when the city was broken. Not everyone will use strict military discipline to restrain the soldiers. After all, the soldiers are human. You just tell them to fight hard and don't let them make a profit. Where would they listen to you? Therefore, as long as the looting and head grabbing are not excessive, many people will open one eye and close the other.

At that time, men will inevitably be killed, women will inevitably be ruined, their property will be taken away, and those worthless things will be destroyed.

Thousands of years later, the people there are gone, the text and culture there are gone, there is no trace of it!

Therefore, they are doing good deeds by keeping these things!

Sizi and the others heard Li Yuanying say this, and they felt that this matter was right. If the people they sent could keep one or two, it would be regarded as saving some people and things from suffering!

When Sizi and the others left, Li Zhi stayed alone and talked to Li Yuanying: "I still feel that something is wrong. If you really pity Gaochang so much, why don't you go to your father and stop hitting him?"

Li Yuanying has his own set of principles: "How can I not fight? If you say you want to pay tribute, Gaochang does not pay on time, it is untrustworthy; it is unrighteous to link foreign countries to attack the land that is also attached to the Tang Dynasty! This kind of treachery is serious. If Tang didn’t send troops, how could others be willing to rely on Datang anymore? Therefore, it is impossible not to fight," Li Yuanying said with good faith, "but we Datang is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Even if we fight, we still need mercy! People! If there is no compassion for one's own kind, what is the difference from a beast?"

Li Zhi felt that as long as Li Yuanying said anything, everything was right.

In December, the imperial court finalized candidates for the conquest of Gaochang: Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun.

The army assembled the oath teacher and headed for Gaochang under the severe cold.

Soon after the army set off, a team of more than a hundred people hurriedly hovered in the back and set off. His Majesty Li Er stood on the city gate to bid farewell to the soldiers. He was about to return to the palace, but he saw the team behind him sharp-eyed! Although this group of people did not walk fast, they were uniform, dressed in the same clothes, and at the same pace. At first glance, they looked like a caravan, and at the first glance they looked like well-trained members of the ranks.

His Majesty Li Er frowned and asked to see who it was.

Soon, someone came back and reported that it was the caravan of King Teng, the leader was Dai Ting, who was always with him, and the rest were King Teng’s guards and the retired soldiers they had conscripted.

His Majesty Li Er's face turned dark, and he drove back to the palace, by the way, let someone go and bring Li Yuanying over.

Li Yuanying was lying on the couch to hide in the winter, listening to His Majesty Li Er's summons, slowly put on formal clothes and ran to see His Majesty Li Er. When he got there, Li Yuanying still tremblingly said: "It's such a cold sky, what do you want me to do, Brother Huang? Running all the way, I'm so cold to death!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "What do you call you over here? Do you have to explain to me what they want to do if you ask someone to follow Hou Junji?"

Seeing the incident in Dongchuang, Li Yuanying didn't panic at all, and brought the set of fooling Li Zhi and the others over and told His Majesty Li Er again.

His Majesty Li Er sneered: "I don't think you are so kind. You want to see if you can make a profit!"

Li Yuanying looked very sad: "Brother Huang, how can you think of me that way? I really think so!" He said honestly, "Of course, if you can make some money by the way, of course it is good. Who would think that there is too much money? Speaking of which, I still owe you a sum of money to Brother Huang. If Dai Ting can help me make money, I will pay you back immediately!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Are you still short of money?"

Li Yuanying said: "Who would think that the money is too much?" He again talked to His Majesty Li Er about his magnificent ideals, "I printed a hundred books last time, and spent a lot of money. I will open a large academy in the future. People who want to print a lot of books, I don’t know how much money it will cost! If I make enough money, I want to make books affordable for everyone who wants to read!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Do you know how many people are in Datang?"

Li Yuanying shook his head.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Just by household, Datang has more than three million households, and each household has five to fifteen people. How many people are there in Datang? So many people, just It’s even harder to get them full and warm. How much money do you have to make to make them all affordable?"

Li Yuanying calculated in her heart and found that the number was so large that he had no idea at all!

Li Yuanying was speechless: "So many people!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "What do you think?"

Li Yuanying looked at His Majesty Li Er with sympathy, and said, "Brother Emperor, you have worked so hard, you have to take care of so many people!" He thought about it, and said, "That's why we have to find more smart people! For example, in farming, many people bury their heads and work hard every day, and when the weather is bad, there may be no crops. But if a smart person comes out of a village, he knows how to look at the changes in the weather and knows which land to grow which crops are more productive. Knowing what to replant in the unfortunate drought and what medicines can be collected and sold in the mountains, then the people of their village will not worry about eating and drinking—as long as we find such smart people and let them go to various places to help supervise the farming affairs, we You can get something for nothing!"

His Majesty Li Er originally listened patiently to Li Yuanying’s insights, and thought that Li Yuanying’s recent closed-door study was a good reading, but as soon as he heard him say "get for nothing", he immediately got angry again and knocked on him. A note on his head: "What does it mean to get something for nothing? Did you say that?"

Li Yuanying clutched her forehead, humbly asking for advice: "So what should I say?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "This is called vertical arching."

Li Yuanying has also heard this term, which means that the country has been governed as well! Li Yuanying insisted on her own opinion: "Obviously it means the same thing!"

His Majesty Li Er had been too lazy to teach this **** brother, waved his hand to drive him away, it was regarded as revealing that he secretly sent someone to follow the army to find a chance to make a fortune.

Li Yuanying ran away happily.

The author has something to say:

His Majesty Li Er: It is to rule by the arch!

Little Prince: It's for nothing!
